Music Centre - Grades 1 - 12 - permalink
The sections include "Listening Room," "Sound Library," "Downloads,"
"Links," "Virtual Keyboard," "Ask an Expert," and "Mixing Studio." Students
can listen to music, submit music mixes, play the virtual keyboard and even
ask questions of a music expert. Be prepared for British spelling
differences.
In the Classroom:
First, plug in speakers or headphones and turn up the sound! Share the
virtual keyboard to teach basic music concepts on an interactive whiteboard
without any REAL instruments. Assign students to create music mixes on
laptops or lab computers using the downloadable software they offer
(requires the ability to install software). For a less-technological
challenge, use the Sound Library for students to hear specific types of
instruments. For your 15 minutes of fame, record your school group playing
copyright-free, original compositions for upload and sharing in the
Listening Room.

R. Chartand's Pedagonet site offers this music researchportal. There is a long list of resources here for music studies from
lists of composers to today's recording artists and bands.
Musical Mysteries is another good site from BBC Schools. It has a variety
of games and activities to help learn music and sounds. It doesn't actually
have audio of how to say the simple words that describe the sounds, but
there's no shortage of sounds to describe.
I've placed it at the bottom of the Music and Art category of the my English
Themes for Beginners and Early Intermediate page. While you're there, you
might want to check out quite a few other neat links to English language
development activities related to the arts.
